Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The CDBG program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and was created to improve the physical, economic, and social conditions for low- to moderate-income populations.

Eligible projects include:

Any project or program funded with CDBG funds must meet specific eligibility criteria per HUD regulations (24 CFR part 570), address local priorities and objectives as outlined in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, and meet a national objective of the program as prescribed by HUD. These national objectives include:
- Benefiting low- to moderate-income persons
